Not UBERrich, but it's definitely gotten a lot wealthier in the past 5-10 years. A lot of tech was built up (Lucent, Tellabs HQ, Molex HQ, BP Amoco, HP,...), most of the land has been built up too. I guess it bears more in my mind because I grew up there and it really has changed from what it was when I was a kid. I don't think less of them or anything, just makes me feel a little weird when I go back and visit.Originally posted by: 5150Joker

Good for him. $1500 for video cards. He will get lots of performance out of that money, and if he keeps them for more than a year, his investment will depreciate a ton.

Considering the fact that the 512MB 7800GTX's are rumoured to be rare, these will probably be great cards to buy and then sell 3-6 months later for close to what you paid for them. As long as ATI doesn't launch R580 before you sell the cards, they should be able to net quite a bit of their cost back.

LOL I don't think anyone is worried about ATi launching cards anymore. Their launches these days constitute a trickling amount of cards available for $100 over MSRP.
